Constant Steam Game Crashes

[secDM]

Greetings! 

I am new to the A770, but seems there is an issue, and I am not sure if it's due to my new monitor, or the games. Previously CS2 and other Steam games worked fine, but it seems all I can run now is Overwatch 2/WoW.

I have a 49in monitor and I've reduced and split the monitor ratios many ways, adjusted the resolution many ways, so I am not sure if that's the culprit, but running any game it eventually just tanks with some error, and then then this error is quite prevalent now:

The Desktop Window Manager process has exited. (Process exit code: 0xc00001ad, Restart count: 1, Primary display device ID: Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics)

The Blizzard games seem to run fine, but there is still some tearing a bit. So far, not a great experience and I am not sure if it's the card or the monitor. I'd like to use this, but if I can't I'll have to send it back.

Does anyone have any guidance/pointers?

In order for me to isolate the issue and provide the best solution, kindly provide the following information:

• Do the other games work fine with your previous monitor?
• What games are having issues?
• What is the complete model of your monitor?
• Have you already enabled the resizable bar? as it is important for the Arc graphics performance.
  • What Is Resizable BAR, and How Do I Enable It?

It's alright. I'm going to RMA the card and get a refund.

I appreciate the help.
